WOW, that's cool! Especially since you are in the "land of no roundies" :) The GE sets rarely show up, even around here. Great score!

The riches of opulence abound in America, i would show my manliness to such a television receiver to my most desirable wife!!!! The television apparatus is so very fine. I wish I could shrink himself provides for very small, and to live in the list!
Your television make me feel very lucky and young in the before. I hope that you will hold it gently and add love. Please make picture after you restore
I think that television is very beautiful, I like this (large and vital thrust and solidity of television in micro-house myself!
This is the television reciever to be found in fanciful palace ruling class!!!!

Sorry Dave....I had tooo :banana:

mstaton 06-20-2012 12:07 AM

Yes, they don't work

zenithfan1 06-20-2012 12:27 AM

They don't work for me either.... I thought maybe it was a mini console:)

mstaton 06-20-2012 12:32 AM

Maybe a 21 centimeter CRT.

Wunner if that's the chassis that uses a NE-2 neon bulb in the burst gate circuit.:saywhat:
Had one in the shop one time with screwed-up color sync. Tried the usual tube subbing, voltage checks etc. and no luck. Then replaced the NE-2 and the problem was cured.
Strange, because the old bulb was lighting up normally.

those were the craigslist pics, I tried to saving the image, since I don't have my camera right now. will get some better pics next week.

Very nice set from what I can tell. I like the style.

DaveWM 06-20-2012 07:55 AM

whats interesting to me it does not seem to have a color osc tube, so no zero beat adj or other freq control issues to fight. Looks like the same demod system as used on the porta color, just amp up the burst and let it ring. The chassis layout is like a CTC-15, but the PCB are def not RCA, the chroma and sweep boards are swapped (sweep near the back of the chassis) 3 tubes on the chroma (uses a compacton triple triode for the color dif amp). The audio is on the deflection board and the space where the audio board should be is pure power supply, just resistors/diodes (full wave)/thermistor.

bigger than normal speaker. Has had some sevice (PS board has some replacement resistors tacked on top).

Odd, red loop of wire coming up from the back of the PS PCB, looks like it jumps the thermistor, looks factory, and has been cut at the top. Maybe a factory option to use in sets that don't have a auto degauss? with the loop intact the thermistor would be bypassed? this set has the degauss hardware.
